We sent five jersey-knit sheet sets to Spruce testers to sleep on, launder, and thoroughly evaluate in their homes for three months (and I was one of those testers!). We tested each sheet’s quality, texture, breathability, durability, and overall va
Based on our testing, the Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo Tower is our favorite combination fan heater. Tall and powerful while also relatively quiet, this fan oscillates to circulate cold air throughout the room and has a ceramic heater/fan mode to help move hot air as well. If you want a combo unit with an air purifier, our best runner-up, overall , the BlueAir Comfort Pure 3 in 1, is an excellent option and will deliver fresh air as it heats or cools your sp
Here at The Spruce, we’ve been testing couches of all different types for over two-plus years. We’re serious about sitting, lounging, and relaxing on sectional sofas as well as loveseats, and sleeper so
Performance : During many of our space heater tests, we used an infrared thermometer (IR thermometer) to measure the base temperature of the room. We then turned the heater on high and measured the temperature at 4 and 8 feet from the heater after 15 and 30 minutes. We also measured the base humidity with a hygrometer and again after 15 and 30 minutes. During our fan tests, we studied the air speed of each fan, noting how many speeds each fan offered, how to control them, and how well each performed. We measured with an anemometer and compared them to the manufacturer's cla
Beyond that, modular models like the Honbay Reversible Sectional Sofa (our best value pick) are designed for several configurations, allowing you to change the shape and seating arrangement any time at h
Along with my own experience, I did a deep-dive into fellow testers' insights about reclining loveseats. I also conducted research on reclining loveseats, including brands, materials, and expectations that users should consi
I don’t think installing landscape edging can get any easier than using the Beuta Landscape Edging. The time required can vary depending on whether you need to clear weeds or grass, but it only took us 15 minutes to install 40 feet of this faux-stone brick option. We think it looks like the real thing, without the lengthy installation, hefty weight, and high c
We tested this unit for over six months in a drafty living room and an enclosed porch. It's so lightweight (less than 3 pounds) that we brought it into the office to warm us up by our desk. It also has a handle to make it easy to l
We tested this unit in our garage, where we hang out often to watch football games. Since the space isn't temperature-controlled, we found this type of unit perfect for elevating the space with its stylish look while keeping it warm (or cool) depending on the weather. On chilly days, it warmed up the space as much as 20 degrees in the "focus" m
This is a low-profile sectional with the seat just 16 inches from the floor, so it might not be the best option for everyone. Also, keep in mind that these sectionals are custom-made in the USA and could take as long as three weeks to manufacture. But the wait is worth it when you can get exactly what you want you need for your space. Plus, Benchmade offers free white-glove serv
Depending on how you like to lounge, the lack of center armrests could be a pro or a con. For me personally, who will gladly snuggle with any member of my household at any time of day, it’s a huge perk. I’ve also taken to sprawling across both seats and pretending it’s a chaise (which would probably make the designers of this loveseat cringe, but what they don’t know won’t hurt th
We learned right away that it's not the kind of sofa you'll want to curl up and nap on, but rather one for sitting. Notably, since this is a low-profile sofa, the back sits a bit low, so it doesn't offer the best neck supp
Overall Value: A modular sofa is a big investment, so we didn't necessarily judge each based on price. We chose options that we feel are worth the price tag based on their sturdiness, comfort, and other special featu
This four-piece sectional is great for renters or people with limited space, where a full chaise might be too bulky. Without the cushions, the pieces are extremely light, and they click into place once you line up the tracks between each piece. It's amazing how easy it is to move, take apart, and put back toget
"For wear and tear, I always like to recommend performance fabrics," says interior designer Andi Morse . "Leather is also always a great option that looks good and lasts a lifetime." Several of the options on our list, Home color matching game news|https://homecolorcraft.com/ including our most customizable pick, the Inside Weather Modular Bondi 3-Seater Sofa , are available in leat
Ease of setup : We set up the landscape edging according to the retailer’s instructions and noted what was required (digging a trench, installing stakes, connecting pieces, etc.), as well as what tools were needed. We looked at the flexibility of the materials and how easy they were to shape and secure around bends. We also recorded the time it took to install from start to fin
